Great video, especially to explain that this is used in particular circumstances.
You are a Ginius❤️🎾❤️ Love the content..
You are very kind. Glad you're enjoying the channel
Great explanation
Really very useful
Awesome
Excellent
You lost me on the external shoulder rotation. What does putting your off hand up against your chest have to do with external rotation?
Amazing analysis
Glad your enjoying the channel.
I try to provide a view and perspective that is different and creative.

Awesome. Very interesting
Brilliant. Truly!
It works! Thanks so much.
Solid info. thanks
This is a good advise but I don’t know how to effectively achieve this. In practice or short court I can remember to “catch” the racket to promote non-hitting hand stay up but in any pressure situation it just flops down and goes from chest level to more hip level. How can I force keeping it up? Do you have any creative suggestions?
Good stuff
Retraction of the left arm is only to initiate and enhance the left torsion of the torso,it has nothing to do with internal shoulder rotation 😢
Sorry. But the body is more connected than that. Here are some notes from my biomechanic studies.....
The movement of the left arm plays a crucial role in facilitating the internal shoulder rotation of the right shoulder, which is essential for generating power and accuracy. Here’s a detailed explanation of this biomechanical process:
Biomechanics of the Tennis Forehand
Preparation Phase:
Stance and Grip: The player typically starts in a ready position, with both hands on the racquet.
Unit Turn: As the player prepares for the shot, the body rotates as a unit (hips, shoulders, and arms) to bring the racquet back. The left arm (non-dominant arm) moves across the body, aiding in shoulder turn and helping to coil the upper body.
Backswing:
The left arm extends across the body and is often pointed towards the ball's expected contact point. This movement helps maintain balance and sets up a proper shoulder turn.
The right shoulder is externally rotated during the backswing, with the right elbow bent and the racquet head pointing upwards and behind.
Forward Swing (Acceleration Phase):
Left Arm Movement: As the player initiates the forward swing, the left arm begins to pull back towards the left side of the body. This pulling motion helps to open up the shoulders.
Shoulder Rotation: The pulling back of the left arm assists in the rapid internal rotation of the right shoulder. This rotation is critical for accelerating the racquet head towards the ball.
Impact:
At the moment of impact, the right shoulder is internally rotated to its maximum extent, allowing the racquet to make solid contact with the ball.
The left arm is usually tucked close to the body or extended back, maintaining balance and ensuring proper rotational mechanics.
Follow-through:
The left arm continues to move back or to the side, which helps decelerate the body and complete the rotational movement.
The right shoulder continues to rotate internally as the racquet follows through across the body.
Biomechanical Insights
Kinetic Chain: The left arm movement is a part of the kinetic chain that starts from the legs and moves up through the hips, torso, and shoulders. The left arm’s motion helps to coordinate the upper body’s rotation, ensuring that the energy generated from the lower body and core is efficiently transferred to the hitting arm.
Counterbalance: The left arm acts as a counterbalance to the right arm’s swinging motion. This helps maintain the player’s balance and stability, crucial for both power and control.
Shoulder Stability and Force Generation: The action of the left arm in conjunction with the trunk rotation stabilizes the shoulder girdle, allowing the right shoulder to generate maximum force during internal rotation.
Anatomical Considerations
Scapular Motion: The scapula (shoulder blade) on the left side retracts (moves towards the spine) as the left arm moves back. This retraction assists in the protraction (forward movement) of the right scapula, enhancing the internal rotation of the right shoulder.
Core Muscles: The oblique and transverse abdominal muscles are actively involved in rotating the torso. The left arm movement enhances the activation of these muscles, contributing to the rotational force applied to the right shoulder.
Pectoral and Deltoid Muscles: The left arm movement involves the contraction of the left pectoralis major and deltoid muscles, which help in the overall coordination of the shoulder girdle, aiding in the right arm's internal rotation.
Understanding these biomechanical and anatomical details helps in optimizing the forehand stroke
Hope that this helps a little
So is a correct thought for this to bend the off arm as much as possible to get it by the shoulder?
Hi. Pretty much correct.
Just move the off hand aggressively to your left shoulder.
Your shoulder will retract. And you'll have external shoulder rotation.
Does that make sense? It's great that your enjoying the site.

@@oneminutetennis Yes amazing content you deliver. I'll be thinking about coming to where you are for a lesson one day!
@pd1323 would be great to see you. It's great that your enjoying the site.

Yes!!
True 🎾😁
Legs are keys. Strokes can be wonderful, if legs cant bring to the ball for proper preparation. Useless.
Your right. The strokes are irrelevant. The grips are irrelevant. Only the legs matter. Or is this a stupid comment? Just a question
😂😂😂😂😂
Wheelchair players won’t agree either you and me neither 😂
You're not wrong, Walter.. You're just an @-hole.
With that said.. The phrase "do not expect your arm to do what your legs should have done" is the key ingredient of intermediary all the way to high level tennis. And also the Achilles heel of online coaching.. How to break down and teach reaction time and footwork on video? It's always the old "split step and unit turn" spiel. That's why all tennis YT channels focus on the upper body part of strokes, since they are easy to break down and present to their audience.

Yet NO-ONE mentions the wrist. In every shadow swing you did there (including the SLO MO while talking about the book), your wrist snapped on contact!!!!!!!!!!
The wrist does release after contact, but it is a by product of doing everything else correctly with a loose arm. I have been playing at a high level for a long time and have never once thought about my wrist in the swing.
Hi
I am sorry if I wasn't clear.
Think of the wrist as the hand!
If you make this connection, I think it'll be easier.
Does this help?
So mechanically sound!!!

The advise is a Gem. You are talent, Coach! Thank you.
I tried to understand the action sequence of the wrip. In my opinion, you might be the first one explaining the whole pichture in a simple, easy way.
Please keep post more vidoes like this.
Great tip
The things you find on yourube. Thanks
Another stellar video.
Thank you so much for the tutorial
One of the comments asks what does putting the left hand up do.
I think it creates an opposing tension, which enhances the racket swing
Might you comment please.
That's exactly correct. It's called bilateral symmetry. Where one side of the body naturally mirrors the other. Does that make sense?
@@oneminutetennis Yes
I have a dominant left eye.
I opened the batting at school from 8 to 18 left handed. I play tennis right handed.
I played hockey on grass at school
I had a special shot that nobody else played
Backsticks - I liked backsticks because of my dominant left eye
1. stop the ball
2. bend knees with both arms on the stick and turn the upper body - to lever the ball gently so it rolled up the stick about six inches and was stuck to the stick by gravity - then whip the stick round - and the ball flew high over the pitch a long way
It was all created by tension
I think of that shot when watching your wonderful videos
